Boris Johnson has warned Theresa May not to deliver a 'bog roll Brexit' that is 'soft, yielding and infinitely long'

The Leave campaign boss speaks out just 12 days before the Cabinet meets at Chequers for a final showdown on what to ask the EU for in a future relationship.

It emerged this week that pro-Remain Cabinet ministers are pushing the PM to offer Brussels a major compromise that could see the UK staying in the single market for goods only.

Insisting the 17.4 million Leave voters would not put up with that, Boris writes: “Across the country I find people who - whatever they voted two years ago - just want us to get on and do it.

“They don’t want a half hearted Brexit. They don’t want some sort of hopeless compromise, some perpetual pushme-pullyou arrangement in which we stay half in and half out in a political no mans land - with no more ministers round the table in Brussels and yet forced to obey EU laws.”

Boris Johnson urged Theresa May to not hold back and to deliver a 'full British Brexit'

Chancellor Philip Hammond and Business Secretary Greg Clark are urging No10 to listen to the calls and extend the glide path out.

But Boris brands the alarms as “the same old project fear stuff that we ignored two years ago”.

Instead, he insists “the doomsters have been routed” with record low unemployment, the FTSE up and foreign investment up.

Boris also heaps praise on “the courage and determination” of Mrs May for also ignoring the doubters – in remarks that will be seen as a thinly veiled warning to her not to now give in to them at this critical stage.

The Prime Minister has a vision for Brexit Britain — the EU have underestimated the courage and determination of Theresa May

In a heroic act of national self belief we decided to take back control of our laws, our borders, and all the cash that we send to Brussels (a gross figure that is not unadjacent, as I never tire of saying, to £350m a week and rising to over £400m by 2021).

And in the 24 months that have passed we have seen that confidence vindicated. the doomsters have been routed.

We were told that if we voted leave then unemployment would rise by half a million.

And they said Britain would be isolated. They said we would have no friends. They said we would lose our nerve.

What did they really know about this county and its spirit?

That is spirit of the new Global Britain that we are building - confident, open, internationalist, free trading, - in the government led by Theresa May.

Across the country I find people who - whatever they voted two years ago - just want us to get on and do it.

They don’t want a half-hearted Brexit. They don’t want some sort of hopeless compromise, some perpetual pushme-pullyou arrangement in which we stay half in and half out in a political no mans land - with no more ministers round the table in Brussels and yet forced to obey EU laws.

As she spelled out in her Mansion House speech Theresa May has a vision for a country that leads and campaigns for free trade and that will be able to do new deals with the growth economies of the world.
